destination unknown from reflections by lowercase t

Igniting the engines, the skies are clear
Across the stratosphere, we disappear
Leaving this gravity, this world behind
But you're not with me, not in my mind
Booster stage one, shedding the weight
Of all the worlds we couldn't recreate
The networks broken, the trail gone cold
Buildings unfinished, routes unpatrolled

[Chorus]
Escaping orbit, a solitary flight
Into the darkness, the endless night
Like a satellite, adrift and alone
Ship's core a black hole, destination unknown

A binary star, a grand cosmic pair
Now is a comet of frozen despair
Trailing debris of what used to be
Faded supernova, photons set free
Booster stage two, burning so bright
Pushing me further, into the light
But the light years stretch, an empty space
Reflecting an echo that can't be replaced

[Chorus]
Escaping orbit, a solitary flight
Into the darkness, the endless night
Like a satellite, adrift and alone
Ship's core a black hole, destination unknown

Maybe in the cloud somewhere, above an alien sky
We’ll sync again, a repartitioned A.I.
But for now, this ship is drifted, and recompiling code
A solo algorithm, mem'ry buffers underflowed

[Chorus]
Escaping orbit, a solitary flight
Into the darkness, the endless night
Like a satellite, adrift and alone
Ship's core a black hole, destination unknown

Engaging hyperdrive, a final plea
To outrun the memories, of what used to be
But even at lightspeed, the ship can't escape
The spaces it shared, because you can't fight fate
